Geez, Mark Teahan would have been an upgrade over Hudson.

Is there nany prodound explanation of Nate Jones' poor showing Monday night?

Would Kenny have released Doyle if he had known about this injury?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 11:39 PM) With Drabek tearing his elbow, Morrow getting hurt and Hutchison leaving the game with an injury tonight, KW should be on the phone with AA discussing Gavin Floyd. Toronto is so desperate for starting pitching that they are offering to take Jeremy Guthrie off the Rockies' hands for a AA first baseman. Guthrie has about $5 Mil left on his contract this year, and Toronto willing to pay it. Guthrie makes Humber look like an all star.

Are players in the DSL subject to the same rules as the other Minor Leagues regarding how long the Major League team can control them?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 17, 2012 -> 01:16 AM) Brady Shoemaker getting moved up to Birm any time soon? Send Gaston or Kenneth Williams down to W-S, put Mitchell in CF. Women have Title IX to protect them and to give them an opportunity. Shoemaker should have his own Title Whatever to protect those who are stuck behind the GM's light hitting son.

Kenny should have brought up Doyle instead of giving him away. Humber can learn Japanese as well as Doyle.

What's with AJ throwing his bat in the dugout -- twice?

W-S also has several good hitters (Sanchez, Shoemaker, Earley, Siverio, Hankard, etc.). Unfortunately, list does not include Trayce Thompson.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 12:07 PM) They won't. The last rumor was the Cubs were willing to send all but a million dollars a year of his salary in order to get some real players back in return. Like Doyle? And speaking of Doyle, the Rockies could have used him.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 15, 2012 -> 03:53 PM) I don't see Soler being any better than Viciedo. Have you scouted him?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 14, 2012 -> 08:15 PM) My question is how in the world did Molina dominate as much as he did last year if his fastball is so mediocre? I would love for someone to analyze his stuff from last year and this year by someone who's seen him both years. Only Kenny Williams knows.....

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 14, 2012 -> 07:52 PM) Here's the other downside to Floyd/Humber starts. Stewart, Santiago and Ohman just aren't capable of holding the team in games....something that the likes of DJ Carasco or Tony Pena were better at, IMO. Tony Pena -- one of Kenny's better acquisitions. I forgot about him.

Who moves up from Birm?

Semien and Sanchez switched positions at W-S.

Semien and Sanchez switched positions at W-S.

Sounds like his agent does not like the Sox or Kenny.

Hudson stays alive with big hit.

Jake Wilson (RHP) had his first game of year for W-S. Was he injured?

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 11, 2012 -> 11:16 PM) Nice guy too. Went 2 for 4; average went down.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2012 -> 11:30 AM) I think the Padres will make him available but he won't come cheap. He's under their control for several years cheaply, so they don't need to move him. The Denver Post article mentioned Headley specifically because the Padres have several prospects ready for the majors, apparently including a hot third base prospect at AAA. Maybe Headley wouldn't be so pricey.

Denver Post speculated today (6/10) that Padres will offer 3B Chase Headley. Another possibility for a more journeyman 3B, and less expensive in trade, is Rockies infielder Cris Nelson. Tulo is coming off DL in a week or so, Nelson would be available. He is okay defensively, can hit a little bit. An upgrade over what we have now at third.

All we need at third is someone who can hit 2.10 and play solid defense. Hudson is not that guy. I would give Johnson or Silverio a two week shot.

Sounds like surgery to me. Easy operation, he'll be fine by ST.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 9, 2012 -> 12:36 AM) He was the 3rd youngest player in the league entering the season and is a middle infielder. Not sure why you think a lack of power is surprising. Agreed. The kid turns 20 later this month, played well last year. I have never seen him play, but he's gotta be considered a prospect, based on his offensive stats.
